Huh? Slavery started in the US in the early 1600s. Was there really much history of anti-Chinese or anti-mestizo racism in California at that time?

There was anti-Chinese and anti-mestizo racism in California from the outset of “California”.

As for slavery, the only reason it wasn’t an official slave state was because of the Compromise of 1850. But they hated us long before we were in great numbers here. Once we started to come here, there were anti-alien laws and school, housing, and employment segregation statutes, long in place.
